Library
The Essex County Library is a system of 14 libraries that provide quality materials and services, free of charge, to all residents of Essex County. This system was established by County Council in January, 1966. It replaced the Essex County Co-operative, which was a loose federation of independent municipal libraries. Today, with the financial support of the County of Essex and the Province of Ontario, the County Library provides a collection of over 367,000 items and a wide range of services through its branch libraries.

The Essex County Library's mission is to make available to the residents of Essex County reading, viewing and listening materials for general knowledge, cultural enrichment, education and recreation; authoritative and timely information in support of daily living, educational pursuits and intellectual curiosity and to encourage the youngest members of the community to read and to
learn.
Amherstburg's Essex County Library Board Member Representative is Deputy Mayor Chris Gibb.
